Namda Toys

These cute and colourful wool felted
animals are perfect as toys, decor, or even for cats! Made from 100% natural
and non-toxic materials, you can be assured of the safety of these toys for the
little ones that you care about.

Felt making (or Namda as it is locally
called) is a craft only practiced in the North-Western states of India. Due to
the lack of marketing and promotion for this ancient craft, it is slowly in
decline in the few places where it is still practiced. By supporting this fun and
innovative collection, not only are you getting a safe and unique product, but
you are also helping to maintain an age old tradition which empowers those
involved.

Said to have developed in the 11th
century as a material to keep the emperors horse warm, the cozy appeal of felt
is undeniable. The entire process is done by hand, and thanks to the inherent
binding quality of wool, it is actually quite simple.This collection is made in a small district
in the state of Rajasthan, “the land of kings”, by an Indian-Persian-Muslim
community. During the British rule, this small ethnically diverse community set
a perfect precedence of cross-religious unity.

Sustain this old tradition and have
fun while considering your health. These adorable miniatures make the perfect
gift!
